Today I went to Shake Shack for lunch. Shake Shack, for those of you who live elsewhere, is a walk up burger joint, which, on a nice day, is known to have a line that goes clear across Madison Square Park. I realize it feels like its 7 degrees out but I figured the line would be extremely short (which it was) and I really wanted a burger. So I was sitting there waiting for my double burger and...

Vegetarians
These people have no idea what they are missing out on, but that is not why I am writing this. Why do vegetarians go to places that are self proclaimed “burger joints” and “steakhouses” and complain that there aren’t enough vegetarian options? Why are YOU at a steakhouse??? I think that a lot of vegetarians don’t really want to be vegetarians and that is why...

What is up with people spreading out on the seats in a crowded car? I’m sorry, but if it is rush hour, don’t sit spread eagle and take up 2 seats. Actually, it doesn’t even have to be rush hour. If you are sitting like this and see someone standing, make adjustments. And don’t act so GD annoyed when someone asks you to scoot over a bit so they can also sit….and...

Something I love about being a server in NYC
I have been waiting tables for 8 years, 7 of them in NC…at the same restaurant. The restaurant I worked at is a moderately priced restaurant (nothing over $8 dollars) that serves sandwiches with sides, salads and booze. It’s really small too. I worked both lunch and dinner shifts. No matter what shift it was, 75% of the customers needed help with the check. These are the same people...

Stupid Comments (a division of Stupid Questions)
(*note-this is not so much a stupid comment as it is something that happens to me pretty often)
Sometimes when I am working someone will come buy a drink from me and ask me if I have ever seen the band. 99.9% of the time I have not. Then, 99.9% of the time they make this statement-“Oh, well, you’re gonna LOVE them.” I just smile and say something like “Cool, can’t...

Unoriginality
I don’t think I like reblogging things too much. I like to make them my own or express my personal opinions. Reblogging is to blogs as sampling better songs than your own is to rappers. It’s like they aren’t creative enough to come up with their own background music so they steal someone else’s song. At least they are putting their own lyrics on top of it.
It’s also...

Song Requests
Last Night I went to DJ at a local bar for a few hours. The guy that was on before me for 3 hours played only 60s soul and rock. Then I came on and did the same, more rock than soul. Notice a pattern? I did this for about 30 minutes when someone asked me to play Jonathan Richman and Japanther. At least that sounds somewhat similar to what I was playing…PSYCH! Someone asked me to play The...
